I won&#39;t get into that here though. I do appreciate the thought - just hope you were able to pick up a copy quite cheaply. ;)James Graceyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08968719719213071671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8519287446656108921.post-60495450660605134562013-08-25T12:54:45.729+01:002013-08-25T12:54:45.729+01:00I&#39;m with you on this one Stokely - I&#39;m kin...I&#39;m with you on this one Stokely - I&#39;m kind of over zombie films. Every now and again I&#39;ll see one that does something interesting - Wither isn&#39;t one of them. All the elements I thought to be quite interesting in this one were just ignored. Before long it just became another &#39;kids turning into violent zombies in a cabin in the woods&#39; narrative. Very routine. The look of the infected is pretty creepy though - as you can see in the poster (which I quite like, too) - but aside from that, there was nothing else to keep me engaged with this one. <br /><br />And thank you for picking up a copy of the book - I really hope you like it and that it will give you a decent introduction to Argento&#39;s work. <br /><br />Thanks for stopping by!James Graceyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08968719719213071671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8519287446656108921.post-25406180887857728592013-08-25T04:54:12.540+01:002013-08-25T04:54:12.540+01:00Hi James

I gotta say, though, the poster&#39;s pretty wicked! :). I believe the effects of film in their attempt to enhance, many times upstage tone and character development. I agree with you, that if that is not given as much credence, that we don&#39;t give a darn whether the characters live or die. I realize the extent of effects is a natural evolution in film, but it&#39;s a shame that the basics are dulled in the process. I absolutely loved <i>Let the Right One In</i>. I cared about the kids a great deal and was tickled that he took her with him in the crate in the train, but I don&#39;t expect I&#39;ll take the time to watch Wither. Thanks for the honest review. I should get my Argento books in a couple of days! I&#39;m really excited. I bought new, so you&#39;d get something out of it. I&#39;m guessing you do even if it&#39;s Amazon USA (?) And oh yah, I wanted to tell you, that because of your rad post on Suspiria, I&#39;m paying much closer attention to the scores. Until next time...Keep those fires stoked.<br />Eternally Yours<br />Warden Stokely<br /><a href="http://wardenstokelyhorrorzine.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Warden Stokely Horrorzine</a>Warden Stokelyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03789986401228596053noreply@blogger.com
